A machine capable of producing 1650 foot-pounds of work per second is considered to produce how much horsepower?
• Definition of horsepower in engineering terms • Relationship between foot-pounds per second and horsepower • Basic unit conversion using a known constant
• What is the standard number of foot-pounds per second that equals 1 horsepower? • How does 1650 foot-pounds per second compare to that standard value (is it larger, smaller, or the same)? • Once you know the ratio between 1650 and the standard value, how do you turn that into horsepower?
• Know the exact conversion: 1 horsepower = ? foot-pounds/second • Carefully divide 1650 by that conversion value—watch your arithmetic • Check if your final number of horsepower matches one of the multiple-choice options exactly
